Your experience does sound demoralizing. I am not sure I have had Spotify crash on me thus far and certainly not with any regularity. I think it's safe to assume that you have an untypically bad experience, because if what you described was true for most people, Spotify would have no users.
Which begs the question, why do you stick to it? There are competing services. How could they possibly do a worse job, in light of what you are describing?
Spotify crashes on me quite a bit too but I stick with it because my kids like Spotify and we have a family subscription which is a pretty good deal. I really dislike the Spotify UI, especially the way podcasts are given so much screen space and it's something I have no interest in and can't figure out how to disable it.
I had free Apple Music for six months and I think it actually sounds better than Spotify (or at least I preferred it, I absolutely do not have audiophile ears) but I don't want to pay for a third music service (we also have Pandora because their radio stations are great) and my kids prefer Spotify.
Definitely.
